Sacred but non-liturgical, A German Requiem is

and orchestra. Twenty-one years after
Sir Roger Norrington directed the first
British performance on period instruments,
American conductor Marin Alsop, the Orchestra
of the Age of Enlightenment and an 80-strong
chorus explore Brahms’s 1868 masterpiece in the
context of his relationship with Robert Schumann
and Schumann’s widow, Clara. Schumann’s Fourth
Symphony and Brahms’s Tragic Overture act as
preludes to a
work of great
seriousness and
humanity.Tickets £9.50 - £46.
